Itinerary Quick Look
We’re happy to offer you an English-speaking driver for your Beijing tour to match your interests. Please note that the time frame is for reference only and may vary due to traffic conditions on the day of your tour.
An English-speaking private driver will meet you in the hotel lobby, as long as the hotel is within the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. If your hotel is outside the Fourth Ring Road, or if you need to be picked up at the train station or airport, the guide can still meet you up, but there will be an additional charge.

Capture stunning photos, take in the sweeping vistas, and explore the intricate stonework of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After your hike, head to Gubei Water Town, a charming village with traditional architecture and scenic canals where you’ll stay overnight. As evening falls, the town comes alive with lights reflecting on its waterways, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for families. Enjoy a leisurely boat ride through the canals, explore quaint shops, and sample local snacks as you stroll along the picturesque streets. Gubei Water Town offers a relaxing yet culturally immersive experience, making it an ideal retreat after a day of exploring the Great Wall.
